ok no... 5000 series isn't the new GeForce FX... it's even worse

tranquil pebble
#

It is looking likely to go down as one of the worst GPUs of all time if this is all true

#

Don't worry Nvidia market share will somehow go up

tranquil pebble
#

anything can be ugly if you try hard enough

fresh timber
#

People are buying them up at microcenter dispite the bad reviews

fools...

dense locust

#

Yes. It is called failing upwards

#

Nvidia GPUs could literally be ieds that go off the moment the box is opened and people will still buy tons derpyBlob

#

5 star reviews because it isn't AMD derpyBlob

omg jc a bomb

Can’t wait for NVIDIA’s next week 50 series discovery

Maybe they find oil in the cards

I'll be sure to look when my card arrives

#

i mean no one was against it so yea

@gleaming sedge seems about right

#

either you take that $320 deal or save a few more $$$ by searching used components individually

#

i cant be the only one having a say in this tho

worthy meteor

#

I guess ya that'd be more on Asus

dense locust
#

As long as it’s one off

ancient swift
dense locust
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

worthy meteor
#

I mean it's like Asus having the backwards capacitor on that one board

rancid juniper
#

Asus trying to be different

#

As usual

ancient swift
#

With how many Astrals are being scalped instead of being used theres no telling how common it actually is.

worthy meteor
#

Z690 hero had like 10% of the boards go out with a backwards capacitor that could cause it to commit die

ancient swift
#

imagine buying a scalped 5090 and it self immolating but not having warranty

rancid juniper
#

That's on the buyer

#

Like, you likely knew the risks right?

ancient swift
#

Yes, its on the buyer for Asus making a product that self immolates

fresh timber
#

Ugh

dusk knot
#

Hm

fresh timber
#

Msi bios is a pain in the rear to tune, theirs no way to just set something to 100% fan speed.. I just wanna set AIO to max and call it a day 😭😭

ancient swift
#

Remember how we were blaming buyers instead of gigabyte when gigabytes PSU's exploded?

#

Oh wait

#

We DIDN'T

rancid juniper
#

Despite all that someone might just buy another scalped astral

ancient swift
#

No matter how ill informed the customer is, the company should not be selling products that are faulty.

rancid juniper
#

That's true

lone mango
#

I guess laptops, aios and power supplies are the only safe things they make

rancid juniper
#

Asus Republic of greed

ancient swift
#

This whole situation with the 5000 series is insane on all fronts. Consumers are being screwed by everyone 🥲 Nvidia, AIB's, Retailers, Scalpers.

Heck I wonder if UPS employees have "Lost" them in shipping yet.

rancid juniper
#

I really hope more people at the very least wait or avoid but yet they'd still buy even when the news is shoved in their faces, that's the problem

#

These scum companies/scalpers will care when no one buys

ancient swift
#

I saw a picture from Microcenter that gives hope. Full shelves of 5070 Ti's and several 5080s.

#

means consumers ain't accepting the prescalped prices from Asus at least.

rancid juniper
#

People actually noticing and taking precautions

ancient swift
#

Zotac is doing well for themselves with their discord lottery system I think.

ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090: For those who dare The new ROG Astral series from ASUS is known for two things: how large these graphics cards are and how expensive they are. The RTX 5090 Astral costs more than $2800, if you are even lucky to find it in stock. Speaking of luck, Redditor Impossible-Weight485 […]

except I watched Buildzoid rant about how it had to be a power stage because polymer capacitors almost never fail

#

its littrely two diffrent stcks too

i need to figure out the cooling tho

#

also, what's your XMP

fresh timber
#

umm so like i said its two seperate kits, one is 3733 one is 3000

#

which is why im suprised that the 3000 is even running it

idle nexus
#

so 4 DIMMs total?

fresh timber
#

two dimms

#

sorry i suck at explaining

#

Its a 8gb 3000 stick, 8gb 3733 stick

#

somehow stable

idle nexus
#

do you have CPU-Z installed?

fresh timber
#

i can install it

idle nexus
#
fresh timber
#

my corsair cant even run this fast

idle nexus
#

it probably can run much faster

#

but you'll need to mess with VSOC lol

fresh timber
#

its prob cause i use 4dimms and dont mess with much

#

i kinda just used xmp and adjusted timings and frequency

3500mt/ cl17

i could push it more if i knew how

yup

ya let's see that too

fresh timber

earlier it was Chapter 1

he's making me do the "scary" parts

& it's like why play if you're gonna make me do like half of the game? lol

#

okay so the jury is still out on whether it's Micron Rev E or Rev D

slate fractal
#

can i send links here or will the automod yell at me

idle nexus
#

Rev E would be good news. Rev D not as good

idle nexus

okay cause i made a list on pcpartpicker

fresh timber

#

well its probably more than 2k but the gpu dont have a price listed

idle nexus

is it this?

tbh we can take shots in the dark & try if you want but you really ought to have a separate windows partition on the assumption that it will bork Windows lol

slate fractal
#

i like big numbers

dense locust
slate fractal
#

the board supports 192 so why not 64

#

or i could add another 2 sticks and have 128

fresh timber
#

Bad

#

Ddr5 and 4

dense locust
#

Also a $2k with only a 3060ti ThonkDumb

slate fractal

if the 3060ti had a price listed it probably would be like

more

fresh timber

More like that gpu sucks at that price

slate fractal
#

nuh uh

fresh timber
#

Yuh uh

slate fractal
#

yes

idle nexus
sweet phoenix
#

the whole list is just silly

slate fractal
#

no i want 64

idle nexus
#

or get much faster memory that's 2x24gb

sweet phoenix
#

this a purely gaming build?

frigid stag

hoary zodiac
#

WHAT IS THAT RAM IN THAT FIRST LIST

#

AHHAHAHAHHAAH

#

5200 CL40 💀

slate fractal
#

i love corsair

fresh timber
sweet phoenix
#

corsair is literally the worst brand for ram

#

if you want a corsair psu buy an rmx or rme

#

not an hxi

frigid stag
#

Reminder that Corsair don’t make their own ram

sweet phoenix
#

if you want a corsair case do whatever you want

hoary zodiac
#

that kit is quite possibly among the worst ram you could buy

slate fractal
sweet phoenix
#

no

frigid stag
sweet phoenix
#

and corsair would still be worse

worthy meteor
#

especially anything pre 4000d

frigid stag
#

Case isn’t the most important unless u get some meme case like a h510

hoary zodiac
#

the kit itself is already atrocious

#

that's before you bring in QC

sweet phoenix
#

but $2000+ for that build is doing yourself a disservice

slate fractal
#

why

worthy meteor
frigid stag
#

Oh ye while we’re on the topic of ram, is 4gb fine for a nas

sweet phoenix
#

it's terrible value across the board

frigid stag
frigid stag
sweet phoenix
#

psu, UPS, monitor, ram, cooler, ssd, speakers, and headset are all horribly priced and most of them are bad quality anyways

fresh timber
frigid stag
#

Who’s zfs

slate fractal
sweet phoenix
#

Thats a cleaned up version of your list

#

Psu is just as good while being much cheaper and has the new psu connector

#

Monitor is better

#

Ram is far better

fresh timber
sweet phoenix
#

Cooler is far better, ssd is technichally "worse" but unless you're doing high resolution video editing it's the same difference

frigid stag
#

All I know is I need truenas apparently

#

For the software

slate fractal
frigid stag
#

I’ll get to that when I set it up

sweet phoenix
#

A better gpu would serve you well

slate fractal
#

i cant lie all my advice was from chatgpt

sweet phoenix
#

Although gpu pricing is wack rn

slate fractal
#

i have no friends to help

sweet phoenix
#

Yeah 64gb is unnecessary for almost every game

#

Theres like three games that need more than 32gb and they're horribly optimized

slate fractal
#

64 was my idea

sweet phoenix
#

You do you, I included 64gb in there

slate fractal
#

even chatgpt said 32

frigid stag
#

⭐ citizen

sweet phoenix
#

A better gpu would 100% help you more than more ram

#

Also if you care about upgradability

frigid stag
#

Depends what you’re playing

sweet phoenix
#

Am5 is a better idea than lga 1700

fresh timber
#

64gb ram is fun for virtual machines

frigid stag
#

Some games gpu doesn’t matter at all

sweet phoenix
#

I can gaurantee someone spending $2000 on a gaming pc will benefit from a better gpu

#

No one is spending that much to play Sims, roblox and tetris

slate fractal
#

i will

sweet phoenix
#

Aight

slate fractal
#

tetris is good

frigid stag
#

At that point gpu should be less important cuz if you have like a 4070 or something you can run anything well

sweet phoenix
#

?????

frigid stag
#

Depends what it’s for mostly

sweet phoenix
#

what are you on about

worthy meteor
hoary zodiac
#

roblox mentioned

sweet phoenix
#

Lol

#

You believe that

hoary zodiac
#

what is stable performance

sweet phoenix
#

👍

slate fractal
sweet phoenix
#

In a 14600k build with 64gb ram

#

"Let's upgrade cpu"

fresh timber
sweet phoenix
#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

how old are you

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

genuine question

sweet phoenix
fresh timber
#

Even worst

worthy meteor
#

80% of the games I play are GPU bound and I play a ton of paradox games and other RTS games

fresh timber
#

We don’t talk about how much I spent

sweet phoenix
#

Id still upgrade gpu first but thats still better than a 3060 ti

sweet phoenix
#

It's at least 12gb so you won't be as bound by vram

hoary zodiac
#

victoria ii be like

sweet phoenix
#

Abt 15% better perf too

fresh timber
#

Suprisking a lot of games love cpu

worthy meteor
slate fractal
hoary zodiac
#

spreadsheet gaming

sweet phoenix
#

Yeah except with a 14600k/3060 ti with 64gb at a 1440p monitor you're 100% running into a gpu bottleneck before a cpu or ram bottleneck in any game it matters in

hoary zodiac
#

look it up on urban dictionary

sweet phoenix
#

Of course csgo, valorant, and OW would be cpu limited, but a 14600k is getting 300+ fps anyways

fresh timber
#

Only games that matter

#

guess the specs

hoary zodiac
#

but

imagine being bottlenecked by SSD speed from a game insisting on writing to the drive every frame

Not a crazy deal but its something

This is crazy

If the 9070 XT can have a scandal free launch. This might be the best year for AMD since Sony and Microsoft saved them with the console contracts.

#

Mostly Sony

dusk knot
#

they could be taking a few parts from their gamer cards to go to their enterprise merchandise for all we know

ancient swift
#

Imagine you look at one of these AI cards and there is just extra sockets for ROPS to be soldered on somehow 🤣 if that would even work

dusk knot
#

we never heard of this happen before, nvidia

ancient swift
#

3D ROPS where they just put them on top of over ROPS like the x3d cpus

elfin mural
#

the whole 50 series has been a joke

#

this is a theory i have

#

the chips we're getting are the scraps from AI chips

gilded kraken
#

kinda makes me glad I didnt snag a card right of the git

frigid stag
#

That’s always how it’s been kinda

elfin mural
#

you're looking at up to 4% perf loss

frigid stag
#

Amd does that even more

elfin mural
#

that's not okay

frigid stag
#

Ryzen was repurposed server CPU’s pretty much

elfin mural
#

that's fine, but to have this much perf variant is odd

frigid stag
#

Most pc advancements are just server stuff repurposed

#

Ddr ram, hyperthreading, rtx gpus etc

wise wigeon
elfin mural
#

it's not about that really that's causing a stir

#

it's the fact that what we're getting doesn't match the advertised specs

#

imagine buying an 8 core cpu and you're only getting 7

wise wigeon
elfin mural
#

ya

#

binning is normal

#

but this whole ROPs debacle is not alright

wise wigeon
#

i don't think anyone disagrees with that

#

there just isn't much else we can do about it but rma

elfin mural
#

there's gonna be a lawsuit

wise wigeon
#

i mean i assume so

#

there was a lawsuit about the 3.5gb debacle

#

didn't nvidia only end up having to pay like 30 bucks per card though

elfin mural
#

it's funny how nvidia thought this would fly, which it will anyway

#

sadly

wise wigeon
#

i don't think the rops were

#

still on them

elfin mural
#

this is intentional tbh

#

because nvidia is aware

ancient swift
#

they confirmed it real quick

#

with an estimated number

elfin mural
#

that it negatively impacts performance to a measurable degree

ancient swift
#

of how many cards were shipped out like it

elfin mural
#

your average gamer wouldn't even care

#

which is valid

#

only the nerds like us will care lmao

wise wigeon
#

oh no?

elfin mural
#

but nvidia is definitely getting sued

wise wigeon
#

as they should

#

i just dont think much will come out of it

#

if the 3.5gb debacle was any indicator

elfin mural
#

if anything

slate fractal
#

guys guess what

elfin mural
#

nvidia will just gotta pay users small money each

#

$30 to each affected user

wise wigeon
#

i rather rma lol

elfin mural
#

probably in the hundreds ig

#

or full refund

wise wigeon
#

ok prob not that much

frigid stag
#

No physx
Not enough rop’s
What else kekw

wise wigeon
#

this is nvidia they can get away with a lot considering the US justice system

frigid stag

Oh and melting connector

Ok fine

Anybody got any recommendations for 4TB NVMe drives?

did you shove your GPU in there?

bruh why cant amazon just charge and ship my new xtx

i have a packed week but i would at least like to play wilds when it launches

fair onyx
#

Sorry, i am back. Anybody have any recommendations for affordable 4TB NVMe/Sata SSD's?

I am just loooking for capacity, not a huge focus on speed (just faster than a HDD)

slate fractal
#

whats your budget

lone mango
#

Wouldnt the 5080 have a larger perf decrease because 104 from 112 is a bigger difference then 168-174 on the 5090

fresh timber
fair onyx

#

No duh a 2300x and 7700xt has performance issues

fair onyx

I don't need like 9GB/s

lone mango

wise wigeon
fresh timber
#

5500+7700xt

fair onyx
#

More than I was expecting to be honest, but hey, thats usually the case lmao

lone mango
#

Right so it would be an even larger drop relatively

lone mango
#

Was like 235 or something

fair onyx
#

I guess 4TB is less price efficient

wise wigeon
fair onyx
#

honestly, even a refurbed bigger SSD would be good. I don't need a huge amount of speed, I just want more capacity cause I am kinda getting a little low

slate fractal
#

dell sells a singular 8gb stick as an upgrade part for 80 bucks on their webstite lmao

fair onyx
#

I really need to name my drives lol

wise wigeon
#

its a 9.3% drop compared to a 3.5% drop

lone mango
#

Rossman showed that they can do sketchy stuff with drives

fair onyx
fresh timber
#

my 7700xt idles on my 2nd pc wtf

wise wigeon

I have an amazon refurbed datacenter HDD and it is fantastic, but I know SSD's age in a different way

lone mango

elfin mural
fair onyx
elfin mural
#

the lack of physx LOL

lone mango
#

Also yeah seems that 4tb drives dont get cheaper per terabyte

elfin mural
#

5080 falls apart to a 980ti

fresh timber
#

what is this pf physsx

lone mango
#

Its just 2tb doubled

elfin mural
#

a gpu OVER 10 YEARS OLD

fair onyx
#

Honestly, I might just go with a 4TB sata SSD cause they are cheaper and I don't have any m.2 slots left on my PC

lone mango
elfin mural
#

so if you're using 50 series gpus, disable physx in older games

#

or suffer

dense locust
#

The cpu handles physx since the gpu doesn’t have it

wise wigeon
#

like with any amd card

lone mango
#

The video i sent yesterday said something like "even a 9800x3d cant handle it" its not that its because the tech wasnt designed to even run on the cpu so you just sit there with low usage and wait until the slideshow goes away

elfin mural
#

why did nvidia do this anyway

dense locust
elfin mural
#

it's funny

fair onyx
frigid stag
lone mango
#

The 9800x3d in the video was at like 10%

elfin mural
#

yes

fresh timber
elfin mural
#

must disable physx on those

misty sparrow
# fair onyx

i like naming my drives a special way

by the way do you do any graphic design work or something? you've got a lot of drive storage just asking

elfin mural
#

or you'll be forced on 13 fps

mortal grail
lone mango
#

You should be fine

dense locust
lone mango
#

Its also the cheapest again

fair onyx
misty sparrow
#

good thing HDDs are cheap

fresh timber
#

Guess what guys

misty sparrow
#

got a 4TB one a few years ago for a great price brand new

fresh timber
#

500w smart is being replaced

dense locust
#

Cpus are not made for graphics processing

fair onyx
dense locust
#

It’s like when you run out of vram and the computer starts using normal ram as vram but it’s way slower than vram so performance suffers

elfin mural
#

physx being removed is so silly

#

sure it's deprecated but

#

why?

fair onyx
#

Like, for examples I have high res copies of "Legally aqcuired videos" which I don't always want on my smaller and faster drives, but they are like 50GB, so moving them from HDD to NVMe is really slow 😅

elfin mural
#

when a lot of games used that feature

misty sparrow
dense locust
#

Who plays old games anyways

misty sparrow
#

maybe consider SSD sata drives

#

the ones that can go in 3.5" bays and such

elfin mural
#

i play old games, but I won't be able to afford anything new soon anyway

#

stuck to 4050 forevah

fresh timber
#

Oo

fair onyx
# misty sparrow maybe consider SSD sata drives

Yeah, thats what I sent as an option. They are justs till quite expensive, despite being so much less capable than NVMe. But they are easier to just toss in, and don't need to use one of the few M.2 slots you have. All 3 of mine are already in use

#

I HAVE considered getting an nvme drive, and then just getting a sata to m.2 adapter, and then I can put it in a proper slot when I upgrade and have more slots

Some of them even take away Windows Defender

why would I ever want to remove Windows Defender

fair onyx

It has 56,000 hours

I got it for like... $45 I think

Boomer opening his email and clicking on a phishing link counts as malware kekw

hoary zodiac
#

if they're targeting enterprise servers

#

there's A LOT OF viruses targeting linux systems

lone mango

Chances of getting targeted as the average user for malware or being hacked is so tiny of a risk it’s almost impossible

The main thing is that AI models are absolutely massive, and I would like to be able to offload the ones I don't use as frequent to a decently fast drive, so I can retrieve them when I want

lone mango
#

Pay me to brick your uefi thanks

fair onyx
#

Some of the models I have are over 150GB 😅

lone mango
#

Bagged

#

Thats wild

fair onyx
#

and they have tons of small parts, so moving just one to an HDD can take like an hour

frigid stag
#

They’re mostly based in Kolkata

#

From what I’ve seen

hoary zodiac

I want to make a virus that just deletes the efi partition

fair onyx
#

My current model folder. And this is just one 😭

hoary zodiac
#

Taffy 3?

lone mango
#

Virus that deletes ntfs but not ext

misty sparrow
fair onyx
#

A lot of these I could offload to an SSD storage,a nd then move them back over on the rare occasion I wanna use them. Doing that with a HDD is insanely slow tho, which is the issue

135GB for just one model droid_cry_squish

#

I should buy a motherboard so I can stick two gpus in a system

misty sparrow
#

what can you do with an installed AI model anyway? run stuff offline, like chatGPT?

fair onyx
fresh timber
#

i physiclly cant fit a 2nd gpu in my buttom slot

#

i could fit it in a 1x slot if i do surgery on the slot

fair onyx
misty sparrow
#

okay that is pretty neat, would be cool to do that locally

#

i thought that file sizes would be as big as Wikipedia servers for something like chatgpt with the vast amount of information you can ask it

fair onyx
#

RAG functions, agentic functions, UI design, PC interfacing, music generation, voice colning, image generation, video generation, model training, workflow optimization

fresh timber
#

sytan i can do cursed and use my networking to do ai, but i have gigabit so its going to be slowwwww

fair onyx
#

I used a code generation model several months ago to write me code to inference another AI model that could caption images for training on my image generation model

fresh timber
#

I need more parts and storage

misty sparrow
#

well whatever you're doing, use the Home Depot theme to power through

fresh timber
#

I put my gpu in my 2nd pc and ima put 2nd gpu in main pc

misty sparrow
#

if i asked you what you were doing would you have told me because i didn't question what you were doing and you still told me

@misty sparrow I can show you how to do a ton of cool local AI stuff if you ever have any ideas. Always down to share resources

I think local, free, open source AI is the only AI worth supporting

misty sparrow
#

I just use basic ChatGPT for asking questions

#

would be nice to get that sort of AI you have on a phone though

#

because they lock features in chatGPT

at least it isn't as bad as Tay AI

hoary zodiac
#

💀

#

I wonder how many people try to get an AI to uh

#

"engage in nsfw conversations"

misty sparrow
#

but i guess Gemini is channeling some of that because I think that was the AI that told a university student to kill themselves when getting homework help

misty sparrow
#

might've been Bing AI

#

not sure

hoary zodiac
#

honestly I'm all for university students using AI

#

those idiots want to destroy their grades fine by me

hoary zodiac
#

it just means more awards for me

misty sparrow
#

Sometimes I can understand the use of AI for homework

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

#

depends on how it's used

misty sparrow
#

like if a teacher doesn't teach the assignment so they use AI for homework

#

or assigns several assignments in a row

hoary zodiac
#

AI should be used as a tool not as the homework

dusk knot
#

my teachers now encourage the use of AI

#

but as a graphic design major it makes sense

#

either you adapt or die

#

as the whole industry is shifting

fair onyx
hoary zodiac
#

yes

#

especially with how they collect training data

fair onyx
#

Yeup

If it's closed AI, it's bad. Flat out shouldn't use it

hoary zodiac
#

I don't use AI at all

dusk knot
fair onyx
#

OpenAI especially. They are a horrifically bad company lol

hoary zodiac

mostly because I don't have enough computing power to run my own models
